Raphael84 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 @FinMin20 Thanks for the updated photos. Really nice to see the maturation over the last months. The evolution is clear to see and the hair quality is improving. You have come a long way and still a nice stretch to go based on your last photos at the 7.5 months stage.

Raphael84 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @FinMin20 How are you? It has been a few months since your most recent update at 7.5 months. Im sure there would be many of us who would like to see how the last months have been for you. Any further update would be great.

Regular Member FinMin20 Posted June 16, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone. Apologies for not updating this - there wasn't really much change from that point on to be honest, the density remained pretty much the same. There are some texture issues that started to occur as the hair got longer around the 8-9 month mark, and have remained since then - which is quite worrying considering I'm 17 months in at this point. I've read that texture problems usually resolve themselves a year and a bit in, but mine don't seem to be improving. Has anyone had texture issues this far in? The transplanted hair texture without product applied is nothing like my native hair and is very kinky/wiry, and dry and frizzy. The hairs do not join with each other, they're just single strands of hair, and even the shape and texture of each hair is completely different to my native hair. It just sticks out all frizzy and doesn't have a single-wave like shape like my native hair, It's like a zig zag wavy shape, through the whole hair from the end to the root. Using enough product does solve this, but since I like like to keep my hair a bit wavy, matte, and natural looking on a day to day basis, and not too styled, this is incredibly high maintenance for me. And unless I've applied enough product, the frizziness does start to reappear with some wind, after time has passed, or just rapid head movement. This may be a non issue to people who like to properly style their hair every day, as product does mostly solve it. It's difficult for me because I prefer a more natural look on a daily basis - which is very, very hard to do with the texture being like this. I've been waiting for improvement over the last few months but there's been none - and all the transplanted hairs seem to be affected. The texture is still the same all the way down to the roots. Here is a photo to show what the hair can look like in a completely unmanaged state (of course, this is at its worst and with product I'm able to get rid of this). There's also some close up photos of the hair brought down, so you can see the zig zag wave type texture. You can see it's like that down to the roots. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm really worried now that this is permanent.. Has anyone had texture problems 17 months in that have eventually been resolved?

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 I would seek advice from BHR. @Raphael84or @sl for example. Thanks for the update, I’m sure you can get help for this issue. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member sl Posted June 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2021 Thanks for the tag and the update from FinMin. Growth post surgery will take a full year and textural changes can take longer as the hair has to complete a full anagen cycle. For some it is manageable with hair length and products so not a huge concern but an annoyance and as said it rectifies itself. I have not in BHR seen a permanent issue with it and assuming no other dietary of medical changes then it is part of the process that will settle. Please feel free to keep in touch with your advisor and send photos and concerns and they can liaise with Dr.Bisanga for you and hopefully meet you also once travel is resumed. 1 I represent Dr. Bisanga. Dr. Christian Bisanga is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BLE123 Posted June 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2021 What would cause this to happen? Have you tried cutting your hair shorter to see if that resolves the issue @FinMin20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
